This book is among the first to integrate the best of modern business thought with traditional Jewish values. It is of interest to business leaders, academics, and students interested in understanding the moral foundations of business. The emphasis is on introducing and interpreting classical Jewish texts in light of the contemporary situation. Business Ethics: A Jewish Perspective is written in a readable style suitable for Jewish and non-Jewish business leaders interested in formulating a practical approach to business ethics. In addition, the book serves as an excellent introduction for all teachers and students studying the relationship between religion and business.
